What does NOT work =>
locals and expressions or stack windows does NOT automatically
load/update on stepping. i.e each time you need to manually click "reload
full stack" to see the updated values.
Breakpoint & stepping does work.
It did work (and still works) with Qt Creator 2.6.2 last, and not any
release after that (i.e QtC 2.7.0, 2.7.1 & 2.8.0 beta)
All version of QtC also works with mingw builds gdb.
I presently do NOT use mingw builds as sometimes I get strange problems
with that dual target build (specifically when I use it with
boost.unit_test). I do NOT use Qt, I use Qt Creator just for my c++
projects with cmake or generic makefile project.
In the debugger log window it shows UNSUPPORTED GDB VERSION GNU gdb
(rubenvb-4.8.0) 7.5.91.20130322-cvs
If you look at the code which detect gdb version (extractGdbVersion
in debuggerprotocol.cpp ) , it returns wrong gdb version as 4.8.0 rather
than 7.5.91 , i.e. wrongly takes the version from bracketed gcc build
information). Though that may or may not be the cause of problem.
I have tested it with
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8.0-win64_rubenvb.7z (and also 4.7.2 and others)
QtC 2.7.1 (Build on 8th May 2013) QtC 2.7.0 and QtC 2.8.0 beta official
builds
On Windows 7 and Windows 8
